Many jobs have been lost, at least temporarily. Texas has lost 50,900 jobs in the month of March. Louisiana had lost 21,000, Georgia, 7,000, and Florida 36,600. Nevertheless, homes are still selling. Realtors are advising home sellers to be flexible and willing to negotiate if they want to sell their home right now in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic (Forbes.com). Many people may not be comfortable committing a lot of money on a property when they are unemployed.
However, if you are in the business of real estate investing, such as fix-n-flip house buy and selling or buying for rental income, this may be a good time to buy. With fewer houses on the market, competition will be even more intense than usual, but sellers might be more amiable to negotiating.
I can help you get private funding for a real estate purchase for an investment. The terms would be 6 to 9 months. No appraisal is required, you can fund up to 90% of the purchase price and up to 100% of the rehab cost. Interest rates would start at 12% with points as low as 3.0%.
When you go to see a house, make an appointment and take safety precautions, such as wearing gloves and a mask when you see the home and discarding the gloves as you leave before you touch your car handle or steering wheel. Limit close contact with the real estate agent, seller, or lender. Complete as much paperwork electronically as you can. Wash your hands often. Avoid touching your face.
Let’s get our economy started again but be safe about it.
